Thanks to committed sponsors and experienced mentors, six social innovation projects are now taking flight.<\/i><\/p>\n\n
On Saturday, November 8, R\u00e9seau Croissance hosted the second edition of its Forum \u00c9mergence<\/i>, an event designed to engage Christian professionals in initiatives with meaningful social impact. Nearly 75 participants came together in the new conference space of the law firm Borden Ladner Gervais LLP in downtown Montreal.<\/p>\n\n
During the forum, six innovative social projects<\/a> were presented. Each project received a $5,000 grant, along with personalized guidance from mentors drawn from business and civil society. These mentors pledged a minimum of five volunteer hours to support project leaders in the development, planning, and implementation of their initiatives.<\/p>\n\n One project, Espace Parvis<\/b>, stood out by receiving a $10,000 grant to support its participatory and collaborative workshops, which promote engagement, autonomy, and self-awareness among youth.<\/p>\n\n “Our experience at Forum \u00c9mergence allowed us to discover meaningful projects and meet passionate, committed professionals,”<\/i> said Ang\u00e9lique Sanches, co-founder of Espace Parvis. “The guidance offered by experts and the Marguerite Bourgeoys grant provide a true springboard for our project\u2019s growth. We are deeply grateful to the R\u00e9seau Croissance team for this forward-looking initiative.”<\/i><\/p>\n\n A Day of Engagement and Purpose<\/b><\/p>\n\n Forum \u00c9mergence<\/i> aligns with R\u00e9seau Croissance\u2019s mission to mobilize professionals to contribute five hours of their expertise to social impact initiatives. The event creates a space for connection and collaboration among project leaders, mentors, and partners, united by a shared vision of the common good.<\/p>\n\n “Forum \u00c9mergence is above all a space for encounter, faith, and commitment, where ideas take root through collaboration and the generosity of our members and partners,”<\/i> explained Suzanne Frigault, founder of R\u00e9seau Croissance. “We believe every professional has something unique to offer the world, and this day demonstrates the power of collective intelligence to nurture projects for the common good. I want to sincerely thank all our partners and sponsors for their vital support in this edition.”<\/i><\/p>\n\n Following the success of this second edition, R\u00e9seau Croissance plans to host additional meetings and themed workshops in the coming months to build on the momentum of the forum. Details will be announced soon on the organization\u2019s website.<\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n\n About R\u00e9seau Croissance<\/b><\/p>\n\n R\u00e9seau Croissance aims to cultivate and maintain a network of professionals united by shared values, leveraging their expertise to support collective-interest projects and maximize their societal impact in Quebec society.
